Again me and adding more news in regard to the Y-20 project:

Following reports from the Chinese media as well as different forums, the Xi’an Y-20 was spotted over the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau in late June during high-altitude tests. Within one week the second flying prototype ‘783’ was spotted at four different high-altitude airports namely Lijiang Airport (2251m above sea level), Diqing Shangri-La Airport (3280m above sea level), Daocheng Yading Airport (also known as Aden Daocheng) and Inagi Aden Airport (4411m above sea level).

Preceding these tests, the Y-20 was also spotted in January conducting cold-weather trials at the Hulunbuir Hailar Airport (also known as Hailar Dongshan) at the Inner Mongolia.

Following reports by Tang Changhong, the chief designer of the Y-20, the aircraft will complete all tests in different climatic conditions by the end of the year.

Even more important, two more prototypes made their maiden flights: Aircraft no. 5 on 2. July and aircraft no. 6 on 13. July.
